Elijah Green faces charges in Columbia hit-and-run death

FATAL ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

In many hit-and-run cases, drivers attempt to evade responsibility by fleeing the scene. However, once identified, suspects can face serious criminal charges.

Leaving the scene of a crash is illegal, and statistics show that more than one hit-and-run accident occurs every minute on U.S. roads.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, emphasized that conducting an independent investigation promptly is crucial to protecting victims’ rights.

“Having the proper resources is essential to investigate a hit-and-run case and establish negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

“Conditions such as road design, visibility, and lighting are all important factors that must be carefully reviewed,” Bond added.

These steps are critical in helping families pursue justice and financial compensation after losing a loved one in a hit-and-run crash.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of a victim may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Surviving family members can seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

“The emotional impact of losing a loved one in an accident can be overwhelming,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand the difficulties families face, and protecting their legal rights is essential. A wrongful death attorney will monitor the investigation and help ensure their best interests are upheld.”
